Damore never said women are not cut out for engineering. He said there are biological reasons why men prefer systems(engineering) and women prefer socializing jobs (nursing)

I think he was even careful not to make those claims, but to consider the idea a possibility. He was fired at the mere mention of an idea that is likely 100% true. The thought police made an example of him.

I am aware of that. I was referring specifically to that line though - it is a fact, even if he didn't personally say that.

Women are under represented in the top percentile of IQ, so of course they are not as likely to be cutout. But there are less women in the bottom IQ area. It's just life.
